This past week South Africa was in Reality Heaven. A new Idols and South Africa’s Got Talent winner was crowned.
SA’s GOT TALENT
The second season of South Africa’s Got Talent was well received with ratings almost doubling from the first season and it’s all thanks to the diverse acts the judges let through this year. Including the winner, James Bhemgee (45), who is currently unemployed and has resorted to sweeping the streets of Cape Town.
When hosts Anele and Rob announced that he was the winner, the Opera singer couldn’t do anything but cry. As the tears rolled the audience and three judges closed the show with a standing ovation. SA’s Got Talent Judge, Shado Twala commented during the show and said Bhemgee: “could perform anywhere in the world.”
